Moved from Tibicen.

An added note to the contributor, as well as other reading this post... These are not images of one of the periodical cicadas, and as such their life cycle is actually considerably shorter than the "17 years" referenced in the text of this post. (For more specific data on this species' life cycle, please see the Info page for the genus here.)

Tibicen sp. (likely T. davisi)
Nice series of images!

I have collected many nymphs of T. davisi, and although teneral adults are highly variable in color....they all have rather "disprportionately large heads" .. as compared to other Tibicen species. For this reason, I lean towards T. davisi as the likely candidate.
